Pigging out

The unofficial end of picnic season is marked by the season-two finale of "BBQ Pit Wars." The masters celebrate the occasion with a visit to Georgia's Roman Roast on the River where we can only assume locals cook up a pig named "Julius Caesar." 9 p.m. Destination America

On the town

Let's step into the way-way back machine and remember those not-so-innocent times when the tabloid queens were Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. Remember them? "Lindsay and Paris: Scandalous It Girls" will jog your memory — whether you like it or not. 10 p.m. Reelz

Video game wizard

If the rock musical "Tommy" was made today, that kid would sure play a mean … Halo. The rest of the 1975 film adaptation of the Who's classic story holds up just fine thanks to timeless performances from Tina Turner, Elton John and Eric Clapton. 11 p.m. TCM
